BMA condemns overworking of SAS doctors
The BMA has spoken out against the excessive hours worked by staff grades and associate specialists. A BMA survey has shown that full-time SAS doctors work on average 73 hours a week, and that the morale of these doctors is very low.
Mohib Khan, the Chairman of the BMA's Staff and Associate Specialist Committee, has expressed concerns about these doctors being overworked as a response to the changes to hours for doctors in training. Staff grades and associate specialists are of course already covered by the full effect of the EWTD.
